WOULD - Spoken Contractions in Australian English
Learn Australian English in this episode of the Aussie English Podcast.
These episodes aim to teach you common English expressions as well as give you a fair dinkum true-blue dose of Aussie culture, history, and news and current affairs.

In today's episode...
G’day, you lot! Ever get tangled up with those tricky “would” contractions?
You know, “I’d,” “you’d,” “she’d,” and all that jazz? Well, chuck on your headphones and grab a cuppa, ’cause Pete’s here to sort you out!
In this ripper of an episode, we’re diving deep into how to pronounce those contractions like a true blue Aussie.
We’ll be breaking down how to say “I would” and turn it into a smooth “I’d,” and we’ll do the same with all the other pronouns. Plus, we’ll sort out that pesky confusion between “would” and “had” when they both sound like “d.” Context, mate, it’s all about context!
Pete’ll walk you through heaps of example sentences, pointing out all the little tricks like muting those “d” sounds, linking words together, and getting your stress and intonation spot on. You’ll learn about T-flaps, D-flaps, and even the mysterious Dark L! It’s a proper pronunciation workout, and you’ll be sounding like a local in no time.
So, if you’re keen to nail your Aussie accent and understand what we’re on about, this episode’s for you. Don’t forget to grab the free worksheet in the description and follow along! Ready to get your Aussie English sorted? Hit play now and let’s get into it!
